God of Tennis

Australia, an Australian country, had some recognition worldwide. Compared to the sixth largest landmass in the world, it was hard to say it was a great nation, but until a few centuries ago, the urban

It was mostly a developed country, just over 200 years after GDP reached the top 10 in the world.

So what do people think about in Australia?

Anyone who likes animals might imagine a kangaroo running around.

If I liked to travel, I could think of Airlock.

If you're just hungry, you might think of an outback.

Of course, if you're a young student, you might want to think about language training or working holidays.

However, Hanwoojin did not fall into any of the examples. Now, if there's one thing he feels about the land of Australia, it's that one thing.

God damn it, it's fucking hot! ’

Han Woo-jin was running. He was spinning a wide open space at a moderately fast rate, sweating red on his forehead as well as on his face. It wasn't like an orderly playground, so every time he made fun of his feet, a dark orange egg creamed him.

You created a cloud.

“Woojin, you have two laps left! ”

Soon after, Shin Se-yeon, who was watching Han Woo-jin run, counted the numbers every round.

She folds the goat, sets it at an angle, and reads a book on a newspaper in place of a mattress.

No matter how hot the weather was, even the girl who was always in suits everywhere was usually wearing shorts on a sleeveless T-shirt. Nevertheless, you can see that the heat is not normal when you see the sweat crawling out of your mouth.

“Huff, huff! ”

Would the snow be about 300 meters at a time?

The 10 wheels he had originally targeted were not that great, but Hanwoojin's whole body was slouching with sweat. The clothes got wet, so it was harder to run, and the relaxing breathing started getting dizzy quickly.

to do.

The wet air created a hellish environment due to the lightly falling temperature of 30 degrees and the rain a few days ago. Hot, humid weather, and the sun was the perfect combination of scorching the ground. I ran a marathon in this weather.

There will be dehydration and flanking of the Sun Soldier.

"Phew, that's why Australia Open is hell. ’

Han Woo-jin has a health reading of 66. Ordinary people's categories have long since surpassed, and have now reached remarkable levels among athletes. Even if you feel this tired, you won't be familiar with the cold weather.

Players would suffer many times over.

In fact, if you ask tennis players to choose between cold and hot areas, no one will choose hot places. It was a hypothesis that would make no difference at first glance, but if anyone knew the situation, they nodded their head.

Of course it is.

No matter how cold it was, the inside of the stadium was often its own protection. Even when the atmosphere cooled down, there were few problems with the coat, and at most the risk of injury was slightly increased due to muscles and joints that were less relaxed.

But the heat was different: the air, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees and damp humidity, was not enough to consume the athlete's stamina and concentration.

Moreover, the coat was not harmed. In the case of lawn coats, it was not uncommon to slip because it did not overcome the hot and humid weather. Some hard coats also say the ball bounces are often significantly different than usual. And in January, Australia said,

It was a truly murderous waterfall.

However, there was also a reason why Han Woo-jin was still running in Australia in a week or so before the Sydney International headquarters would be held.

‘Good job previewing. If I had to adapt to this weather all of a sudden, I wouldn't have any answers. ’

With each breath, the throat seems to melt. The air was so hot that it was painful just to breathe. It was a different environment from what I had known with my head.

Hanwoojin, who managed to stay awake, finally finished the tenth round and stopped his feet. How quickly my body moisture was draining, and my skin had already begun to split. Even the sweaty drops that didn't stop flowing

It stopped like a locked tap.

Shin Se-yeon, who had been awake since halfway around the tenth wheel, came up with an ion drink with a towel. In this sweaty situation, the ionic beverage is more electrolyte-rich than regular water.

“Wow, you're sweating like crazy. No dizziness, right? ”

“... Phew. It's still okay. It's just a little sweat, but it's not that big of a stamina. But it's kind of hard to think about playing in this weather. ”

“Oh my gosh, Woojin can be such a softie. Here, drink this and cheer up. ”

She wants to steal Hanwoojin's sweaty hair with a cold towel. Soon, she brings out the ionized drink in her other hand and puts it in his mouth.

Hanwoojin calmly soothed the dry tears by drinking a bluish ionized drink. As soon as I came into contact with the ionic beverage, my tongue was also lacking moisture, my natural moisture was restored.

I could feel the saltiness of the beverage because the saliva that naturally kept my mouth moist was dry. Usually, the sweet taste was not my taste, but I couldn't bear it.

‘Now I feel like I can live. ’

Hanwoojin, who had emptied out of the container containing 300 ml, had just pulled his strength from his knee. He also had several newspapers, so he didn't have to butt the emperor that was likely to get buried in his clothes when he touched them. Stupid newspapers greet Han Woo-jin's weight

The sun went down in a mess.

A moment of silence passed. The cold sunlight was just a nice sight to see under the shade. When I was running, the wind that I did not feel shook the leaves coolly.

As Hanwoojin recovered his heavy breathing and when his damp clothes began to dry, Shin Se-yeon opened her mouth.

“Woojin, have you read all the files I gave you? ”

“Yes, I don't remember all of them… but at least I've memorized most of the pages about Sydney International. ”

The data she organized contained only information that she needed to know correctly. It was a lot because it encompassed the whole season, and it wasn't much if you only wanted to see one tournament. There was a reason why Han Woo-jin easily said he remembered it.

It was just enough to memorize dozens of English words.

However, Shin Se-yeon was never right. Her eyes narrow with the sound of almost complete memorization, and she smiles strangely.

“Well, can you tell me what kind of coat Sydney International is? ”

“… is that a hard coat? ”

Han Woo-jin replied with a silly face. If a difficult question came up, he couldn't help but read and answer the question once. But that was the right decision. I have a problem that Shin Se-yeon can answer so easily

It couldn't have been put on.

“I mean, which coat is the hard-coat? I thought it was written in the file. ”

“Er... ”

I was stumped. It's like looking at a passing car. What is that? When I answered the question, I felt like I had more questions about the number of years.

After a moment of silence, Shin Se-yeon shrugs, smiling maliciously as if she knew it would be.

“Rebound Ace. A hard coat produced by a company headquartered near Brisbane, Australia. It's made of rubber, fiberglass and asphalt, and it's known for being quite buffering for hard coats. ”

“Glass?”

It was a surprising ingredient. It used to remind me of something transparent, usually used to make windows or glasses. But fiberglass meant a synthetic fiber that made such glass long and thin. Shin Se-yeon nodded and attached an additional explanation.

“I'm wearing a rebound ace at the Australian Open, and it's just a regular coat at the Australian side. I'm getting a little chatty, though. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

It means that there is something wrong with being controversial. When Han Woo-jin read that phrase, she replied with a face that seemed like she didn't care too much.

“Australia is so hot, isn't it? So there have been some claims that at high temperatures, the coat becomes sticky. but the association found that there was no significant statistics. ”

“Hmm... If that's true, there's definitely a problem. ”

Although statistically it was not a problem, athletes' senses often surpassed that of ordinary people. If it was during the game, the story would have gone up to its maximum concentration, even if it sensed a kind of camouflage.

It wasn't.

Did you feel that the soles of your feet are sticky because you used the word "sticky"? If that's the case, we should keep in mind if he stumbles or has a late reaction. ’

When Han Woojin took the story more seriously than he thought, Shin Se-yeon seemed to think about it for a while and said something with a good idea on her face.

“Woojin, if you care so much, would you like to go and take a look? ”

“Yes? The stadium? ”

When Han Woo-jin is surprised by the sudden sound, she nods quietly to confirm. I was serious about going to the stadium, not joking. He was not yet scheduled for the competition, but he thought it would be okay to go in and out from now on.

“It was probably the Olympic Park, right? Can I go now? ”

“Yeah, what? There will still be a preliminary competition, so you can enter for free if you reveal that you are a player. ”

Then Han Woo-jin realized where their perceptions had gone wrong. He knew the competition would not even start yet, but it seemed that the preliminary competition had started a few days earlier than he thought.

You shouldn't spend time like this for free unless you have a destination. The two of them stood up and organized the newspaper they used as a mattress.

The vacancy they stayed in was just outside of Millennium Parkland, near Newington. It was not far from the Sydney Olympic Park. How much longer or less than 10 minutes by car? If you want to go, go now.

The departure from the store was not a problem.

Instead of going to the Olympic Park immediately, they decided to stop by for a while.

The corners of Han Woojin who was running in the sun were hard to see, and even though he was sitting around all the time, Shin Se-yeon was also badly wrinkled because of the sweat flowing out of his clothes. Although he wasn't obsessed with appearances.

It was unacceptable for her to be ugly to others.

ATP250, Sydney International's main schedule, was about 8 days before noon.
